ST. GEORGE, Mo. -- The mayor of the St. Louis suburb of St. George, already accused of possessing marijuana, is now facing an even more serious accusation: suspicion of possessing child pornography.
~SNIP~
Goodman, 64, is a retired police officer who was elected last year. He was jailed and unavailable for comment.
The St. Louis-Post Dispatch reported that police said they found marijuana when they searched Goodman's apartment, but they didn't say why they searched his apartment.

The mayor's legal problems come less than two months after another embarrassing incident for the city. A young man's car seat-mounted videotape captured a St. George officer berating him and threatening to arrest him on made-up charges. The officer has since been fired.

Does anyone know if there is a federal or state investigation of the entire govt there?
PLEASE PING ALL WHO'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS ONGOING SAGA.
Okay, I’ll ask the question: Is this a Dim or a Pubbie?
PS: The victim of the “other cop who was fired” freeps under his name...brett darrow.
BUMP!
Thank you!

Pinging those interested in the Brett Darrow/St George corruption scandals. If you know of anyone still interested, please ping them. Thanks...
I live about a mile away from St. George. It is known as one of the worst burg’s for it speed trap and Kangaroo court. Other than that it is just another bedroom suburb.
Close that speed trap BS town down...I haven’t driven through there in about 10 years...and I live about 8 miles away.
Yeah, and the little cop family out there in St George appears to have a lot of skeletons in their closets if the current allegations against the mayor are true. (see link I posted above)
I’ve heard of towns like that, but this is crazy. Every one of the cops/officials probably need to be investigated.
I’m thinking I didn’t ping you....so here’s a PING
Let me know when you find the answer.
Was doing a quick google search on the mayor to find out his “political affiliation” *snickersnort*....check out all the results...unreal.

Goodman won election in a three-way race in which the incumbent mayor was challenged by his wife while the two were in the process of getting a divorce.
St. George, a one-fifth square mile hamlet at Interstate 55 and Reavis Barracks Road in south St. Louis County, landed in the national spotlight recently after a video of a police sergeant yelling at a motorist went public. The officer was fired.
Thanks -— this is great -— I wonder how much of this is an indirect result of Brett’s actions ...
or as robertpaulsen would call that ‘punk kid’....
You’re welcome. Well bless him if it is...the mayor resigned according to this:

On Tuesday, the city’s mayor resigned — and now, we know why.
I hesitated on pinging robertpaulsen. Just hated to see him berate Brett any more. :-]
